Final Day of 11/15/17 MFI Select Tranche

Final Day of 11/15/17 MFI Select Tranche

An MFI tranche is not a sprint (as they say).  It is a marathon.  And the most recent marathon comes to a close at end of today.  I am sad to report that if the picture on the left are the runners... we're the one crawling to the finish line.

Just 1 1/2 months ago, when I published my end of August report, this tranche was up 16.6%, leading the Russell 3000... which was 14.9%.

Fast forward to today.

11/15/2017  Start   Current   Dividend   Pct Gain   R3K Gain 
 MSGN  $16.67 $25.91 $0.00 55.4% 7.2%
 CELG  $100.60 $70.24 $0.00 -30.2% 7.2%
 EVC  $5.78 $3.40 $0.20 -37.7% 7.2%
 SIMO  $46.88 $35.22 $1.20 -22.3% 7.2%
 VIAB  $24.41 $32.05 $0.80 34.6% 7.2%
 Totals  0.0% 7.2%


Shocking... right?  Looks like I'll have two stinkers.  Here is how the individual stocks have done since end of August.

 Stock   August   Current   Dividend   Change 
 MSGN              25.08         25.91                       -   3.3%
 CELG              94.24         70.24                       -   -25.5%
 EVC                5.13            3.40                  0.05 -32.7%
 SIMO              58.95         35.22                  0.30 -39.7%
 VIAB              29.93         32.05                  0.20 7.8%

Pardon me while I puke!  Sad to report, this is kind of my overall story since the end of August.  Although it has been more on my non-MFI side than MFI (actually MFI Formula is doing great).

I will be buying 5 new names tomorrow.  I'll need to look at EVC to see if their sell-off was warranted.  I suspect I'll definitely sell all the other names.  Man, this sucks.
